It was a journey of harmonising their distinct voices into a symphony of culinary delight.

Across the world, tables serve as the backdrop for shared stories and cherished moments. The creators of Soda envisioned it as a place where people could come and leave feeling connected. Recognising the profound role that food plays in our daily lives, they aspired to make the dinner table the epicentre of joy and togetherness.

The founders of Soda were no strangers to the hospitality industry, each having decades of experience in their respective niches. However, creating Soda was an opportunity to fuse the unique desires and values of both companies into a single, unified brand that embodied exceptional personalised service.

The logomark, although simple and modern, was complemented by intricate illustrations and colour palettes that exuded elegance, comfort, and indulgence—mirroring the essence of Soda.

Choosing the right name for the restaurant was no small feat. After an extensive naming journey, ‘Soda’ emerged as the perfect choice. It symbolised energy, vibrancy, and an infectious buzz, making it more of a feeling than just a place. Soda promised a generous ambiance where you could bask in the setting sun or lose yourself in the allure of the night.

Crafting Soda’s brand identity involved a close partnership between Republic Hospitality, People Like Us, and the interior design team at CTLR Space. Together, we breathed life into a concept that astonished at every turn.
